While Frank is certainly correct, I'm still going to bitch about the
fact that I'd have to use Pd for such a minor function. It's like
driving my car across the street to get milk, it's too much tool for the
job.
I wouldn't compare this to using the car to get milk but more to
having a swiss knife ready for small tasks by learning at least one
"scripting language for music" like Pd, SC or maybe Python etc. Then
instead of having to search the net to find a ready-made tool for a
very specific problem, you would just write a little tool yourself in
a couple of minutes and could get on with the real work.
I'd consider learning C for much more like driving a car to get milk. ;)
But the average user doesn't want to do either and will be happy to open
up a gui applet that gives them exactly that function and no more if it
"just works (tm)"
